In an earlier post I described the refund program we are putting in place for people who purchased TeamPlain from devBiz just before they were acquired by Microsoft.  Refunds are available to people who purchased with 30 days before the close of the acquisition (in other words, any purchase on or after 2/26/07) if it is requested before 6/1/07...

Due to the demand for the VSTS Web Access v2.0 preview, we have again made it available on the devBiz site here: http://www.devbiz.com/teamplain/webaccess/download.aspx This is a pre-release of what will become the TFS Power Tool release of the VSTS Web Access feature.  As I've mentioned before, testing has not yet been completed on it so some...

It's been about 4 months now since I published the first Team Foundation Server roadmap.  A lot has happened since then.  For one thing, we've just about completed all of the feature work (final feature checkins will be this week).  For another, we announced the acquisition of devBiz - which I knew was in the works when I wrote the f...

In the last few days, we have launched a new MSDN Forum for discussions of Team System Web Access: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=1466&SiteID=1 We have redirected the forums at the devBiz site to the new forum on MSDN.  We had originally anticipated waiting a bit longer for this but we were having problems w...

We're about a week past the closing of the devBiz (makers of TeamPlain Web Access for VSTS) acquisition and it's been a busy week.  There's been a lot of interest and questions and people are really excited.  Clearly there have been a lot of comments on my blog and on the devBiz forums.  I wanted to give you an update on some of the ...

On Monday of this week I was in San Jose at the SD West conference to give a keynote.  I'm told that a couple of years ago we (Microsoft) gave a "marketing" keynote and the audience was extremely dissatisfied.  So I went in with a very different approach.  I did a talk on our experiences building TFS, a high scale enterprise ready, p...

We get lots of questions about how to organize version control in TFS, particularly around branching.  We've wrtten a white paper describing branching approaches and best practices.  A lot of this is based on who we do it internally.  Jeff wrote a longer article on it than I'm planning to so I'll just point you at his blog announceme...

I've gotten a bunch of questions lately about whether or not TFS works with SQL SP2.  I confirmed today that all of our Microsoft production instances of TFS (about 15 of them) are running SQL 2005 SP2.  So I have pretty darned solid confirmation that it works well. Just wanted you to know in case you were wondering :) Brian
